HELP - I think I just screwed up!

I don't think you really need DHCP redundancy, when we lost ours it only took 5 mins to setup from scratch again.

Agreed - hence the script to import the settings.

you could always have it installed and set-up but only active on one server (DHCP that is).

I have DHCP across three servers with each server dishing out a third of each subnet's IP addresses.

The three Domain Controllers also have DNS and the server roles split between them.

Two of the servers have WINS and two have NPS.

It works fine and I can easily take a server down for updates, etc.

However, we did have an issue a while back that trashed Active Directory - so I used it as an oportunity to completely rebuild AD from scratch (up until then it had just "evolved" over a few years)
